Aluminum chief seeks energy after Russian accident

MOSCOW – The head of the world's top aluminum producer visited Russia's largest hydroelectric plant on Wednesday to discuss how his Siberian factories will get enough energy after an accident crippled the power plant and killed at least 14 workers.

Rescue workers found two bodies Wednesday in the destroyed turbine room of the massive Sayano-Shushenskaya power station in southern Siberia, raising the confirmed death toll to 14, officials said.

Sixty other workers are missing and feared dead after an explosion Monday during repairs caused the plant's turbine room to flood. Three of the plant's 10 turbines were destroyed and three others were damaged, plant owner RusHydro said.
